Even Scarborough Beats Up on O'Reilly Now

How bad can things be for Fox News when even a fellow conservative like MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is willing to beat up on Bill O'Reilly for more than five minutes? With video.

Scarborough took off on O'Reilly in a big way Thursday (November 30, 2006) in retaliation for the Big Blow Hard attacking NBC for deciding to call the Iraq civil war a "civil war." Scarborough says O'Reilly is on a "crusade against the American press, especially NBC."

Scarborough ridiculed O'Reilly's pious proclamation that Fox News' military analysts were keeping a close eye on the situation and didn't think it was a civil war. What do Fox News military analysts know that generals on the ground in Iraq don't know, Scarborough wanted to know.
